Super Cheap Flash Drives as Giveaways
I would like to see more libraries paying attention to the wonderful site Free After Rebate. Amidst all of the somewhat useless "free Norton upgrades" there are a lot of great hardware deals. Usually you only have to pay shipping, and sometimes even that is free. I have gotten nearly-free or free flash drives, MP3 players, keyboards, mice, USB extension cables, and more.
A lot of these things would make great giveaways in raffles, summer reading prizes, and anything else you can think of.
Right now there are two nearly-free flash drives available:
- Crucial Gizmo 1GB Flash Drive: $2.40+ shipping (requires rebate form, expires May 18th)
- Lexar 512MB Flash Drive: $4.97 + shipping (no rebate to redeem, expiration unknown)
There are also frequently great deals at the brick-and-mortar stores. If your library has a credit card (and most do) or if you can get reimbursed from petty cash, just nip on over to a store and grab up as many items as you need. I've seen 10GB flash drives going for $2 in the circulars for stores near me...there are probably similar deals near you!
